Had a great day, cant wait to get my set up correct and new front tyres,bucket seat, brakes, boost, then i should be right lol. I was really happy that the newish STI and one of the evo's couldn't over take me on the straight, the corners well i wont mention how i was through them.

As for that f**kING rabbit.......suck shit that it got f**ked up and the birds ate it for the rest of the day, little peice of shit!!!

Anyway...had an awesome time and cant wait till im ready for the next one :rofl:

BTW, thanks for the helps taking the bar off and putting it back on guys, had my own pit crew :laugh:

actually i think i may have snapped one of my exhuast bolts again. my car is making a funny high pitched squeal when its on boost, but it hasn't lost anyway performance. i'll have it checked out next week...

the only decent damage done on the day i think was to one of the yellow evo's which ripped a tyre of his rim and scratched it up pretty bad. It was also making some strange noises after that almost as though he had warped a disc and his pads were rubbing and this is when he was just driving.

Woot i was the only one not to do any damage hehe :D

Well my front bar is farked, and i've snapped my air con fan i think thats what its called which is rubbing on the back of my FMIC. Also my brakes are screwed, I'm contemplating whether or not i should get GTR brakes??

EDIT: Here is how i drove for the rest of the day.

Sorry about the file being to big, i tried to make it smaller.

sorry to hear about the air con fan as well :D it did look like a tough drift pig though hehe :) from the little i know about the brakes unless you are after really big stopping power the standard 33 gts-t calipers should be fine just upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads/fluid. If they won't cut it and you have some money get the Brembo's from an R34 GTR mmm nice and big.

Maybe even these 8 pot's

Well after going for a ride with luke i could not believe how good he stopped, if i hit my brakes as hard as he did i'd lock them up.....as seen on the first lap :D.

I'm thinking some massive slotted brakes would be awesome and thats why i think my car will be off the road for a while coz im going to save up for all these parts so next meeting ill be a little more competative.

haha going to track is very bad it makes us all go hmm

but what if i just had

8 pot calipers on the front and some decent 4 pots on the rear

slotted rotors

performance pads

adjustable coilovers

better sway bars

strut braces

etc etc etc

the list goes on. But if you have the $$$ all the best to you. you have a good amount of power as demonstrated get the braking and handeling sorted you will be out there with that blue evo 9 :D

i would imagine the gtr would beat it however driver does play a big part as demonstrated on the weekend...

Luke = good drive

Leigh = average driver

Keep in mind though the AWD will be a major help in maintaining traction and as such better times

Leigh = average driver? Dont blow your on whistle leigh, we all know you think youre god :)

GTR isnt really suited to Wakefield, it loses alot of its competitive edge due to the layout of the circuit. Its a short (low speed) circuit so the lower weight of the gtst gives it an advantage. But if you want a car that goes really quick around Wakefield, buy an Evo.

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

The reason i asked was im going to want a car that will get me the best traction/handling/speed. I think my car has the mods to do that i just need front wheels and brakes and my times should improve a fair bit.

It depends on what you really want do your research and find out whats the difference between the two....Im into drifting so the gtst was a natural choice (plus i was poor) I just recon that the gtst doesnt get a good enough rep, awsome rwd car, can hold its own when modded properly - the love of my life

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

Its a good 100kg or so heavier... and alot of that weight is at the wrong end of the car :(

The GTR is a big car. Get it on a fast flowing track and it will show what it was made for. Get it on a low speed tight track and the results arent that great.

Well i did manage an unoffical time of 1.18.76 and a 1.19.00 with no suspensions mods, road tyres and not much power. The dodgy thing was i could only do a couple of hard laps before my tyres turned to gooo and i had to cool em down... Luke was getting 1.13's i think for most of the day not sure about Steve

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
